Every year at around this time, with lawmakers just back in Baton Rouge for the legislative session, the capitol press corps makes fun of state politicians — and themselves — with a bit of song and dance.

The 63rd annual Gridiron show is on at the American Legion March 28 and March 29. Doors open at 6:30, and the show starts at 7:30. For reservations, email gridironshowbr@yahoo.com or call 225-337-1169.
